Children in tears as women fight in playground on first day back to school

Fight in school playground leaves pupils in tears

Primary school pupils were left distressed and crying yesterday after two women started fighting in the school playground.

Police were called to Ysgol Mair school in Rhyl yesterday after reports that a fight was happening. It happened near the nursery entrance with some children arriving for school for the first time and others returning after their six week Summer holiday.

Parents used social media to express their anger at the behaviour of the two women and their shock at the bad language being used in front of the children arriving at school.

A statement from Denbighshire Council said: “We were aware of an altercation between two women on the school grounds this morning and our understanding is that the matter was not connected in any way to the school.

However, the council does not tolerate any unacceptable anti-social behaviour on any of its school grounds. The matter is now in the hands of the police.”
